Millions spent days without power during Texas winter storms. Could a paperwork error be to blame?

Texas power generation companies will have to better prepare for extreme weather under bills Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law

Senate Bills 2 and 3 are aimed at overhauling the state’s power grid after the devastating winter storm in February and the widespread power outages that followed.

Today is one month from the 1 year Anniversary of the 2021 Polar Vortex and the State-wide Power Grid outages.

It wasn't state wide. Panhandle is on a different grid. We didn't see any problems.
You're correct. I should have said mostly state wide. I think that El Paso was also on another grid.

The Texas Electric Grid Failure Was a Warm-up

One year after the deadly blackout, officials have done little to prevent the next one—which could be far worse.

According to the report, nine power grids were identified, including New England and every state west of Ohio, that are at risk of power outages in the coming summer months.

The report also said that Texas may be at risk of not having enough "dispatchable generation" such as natural gas- or coal-fired plants to compensate for the possible low wind conditions.
